After over five years of being heavily medicated for my bipolar illness, I am just crazy enough to go off the meds and try to conceive. With a whole team of professionals monitoring my progress and an amazingly compassionate husband to catch me when I fall, I am ready to start trying to get pregnant. This is my journey through the insane process...

Sorry for my silence. Apparently, l@w school really is a full time affair. Sheesh, what a bother.

After reading some info on the development of Fetus (nicknamed Curry), I found that her ears have developed enough so that she is hearing a lot of what I hear in a day, even if its significantly muffled. I spent a little time thinking about what it is she hears during an average day. The list looks something like this:

long boring lectures about family l@w, education l@w, and social security

my snoring during aforementioned lectures

litigants screaming at each other during so-called negotiation conferences (I am externing for a county judge)

loud thumps as litigants' attorneys bang their heads against the wall during aforementioned conferences

a whole lot of crunching, gurgling, slurping and other sounds originating from the beginning to the end of my digestive system

my voice singing to the many lively songs of the Violent Femmes

many, many episodes of The Simpsons

It will be a miracle if after hearing all of this, Curry wants to come out and live with us at all.
